Topic: Robot Chicken Star Wars (Read 6633 times)

Not sure if this has been posted yet, or how many other people know about it but the Adult Swim show Robot Chicken will be doing a 30 minute Star Wars special this Sunday night (June 17) at 10 PM EST. Now they've done Star Wars related stuff in the past, but this special appears to be all new material (and some using Hasbro toys). They even got multiple SW personalities to provide voices for the special. So far they've announced that Ahmed Best, Mark Hammil, and Uncle George himself will be providing voices.

I just saw it, it was by far the best episode of Robot Chicken ever. The Ponda Baba, Max Rebo & "Empire on Ice" skits were the best of the skits. I feel jipped they used a couple of pass SW skits instead of doing brand new skits.

I thought the running gag with the janitor sweeping up the bodies of Maul, Windu, and Palpatine was great. The Yo Momma contest was hilarious! "Yo momma's so dumb she spent all day saying 'are not' to R2!" Good stuff, and the modified intro was a nice touch.

Any chance we can get Virex to upload the dancing Lobot onto Lobot's Duplex?

I saw it a couple of times last night, and I thought it was really good. I always enjoys Robot Chicken, but it was nice to see a whole half hour dedicated to Star Wars. I got a kick out of the Ackbar cereal sketch as well, good stuff. Its funny the knowledge that the Robot Chicken staff (at least some of them) have for even the background characters of Star Wars. The stuff last night featured Lobot, Ponda Baba, Ackbar, Zuckuss, and more. Funny stuff.

Actually, I was a little disappointed. Some sketches were flat out great, like the Walrus Man bit and the Akbar cereal.

Other sketches were pretty good, others went on WAY, WAY too long like Empire on Ice, which got less funny with each passing second. I was also annoyed there were three repeat sketches in there. I find it hard to believe they couldn't have filled the half hour with new material. Felt lazy.

I watched it too and thought it was okay. The Ackbar bit was great as was the Walrusman segment. The Emperor/Construction worker stuff wasn't bad but the Empire on Ice thing sucked hard and it was unintelligible at some points.

Oh and the Ben kneeing Luke in the junk was funny, but when isn't that type of gag.

Empire on Ice wasn't funny and went on forever. I literally fast-forwarded through it about halfway, I was astonished they wasted so much time and effort on that one-joke sketch. Ugh.
